They live way out in the country and with the price of gas these days, can't really afford to jaunt into town for their entertainment. So they NetFlix. My mother can sleep through it however many times it takes for her to actually SEE the film and Dad can put his feet up and relax. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you've got a hidey-hole to go to when things are overwhelming!Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861307316932691361.post-89436516261261852992008-08-06T04:38:00.000-04:002008-08-06T04:38:00.000-04:00I love your double desk and if I had space for one...I <I>love</I> your double desk and if I had space for one, it would look exactly like that - books, notebooks, paints, favourite pictures and a dog underneath.
